Transfer of training has been well defined in the literature. Georgenson (1982:
75) for example defined transfer as the degree to which an individual uses the
knowledge and skills learned in the classroom on the job in an effective and
continuous manner. Similarly, Garavaglia (1993) also defined transfer of training as
the effective and continued application to a trainee’s job of the knowledge and skills
gained in training. This means that transfer of training refers to trainees’ effective and
continuous application of what they learned in the training (knowledge and skills) to
the jobs (Noe, 2008: 169).
